Elijah, Yahweh, and Baal

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Elijah, Yahweh, and Baal is a masterpiece presented with authority by a twentieth-century accomplished and unsurpassed exegete. It is now translated by a disciple, whose elegant rendition sounds as if Hermann Gunkel had originally written himself the book in English.”

Hebrew Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I find this new achievement of Roth's remarkable and refreshing. His approach to the Gospel of Mark is a sound return to the foundations of gospel writing. Although some of the modern explorations into non-Jewish possible literary models for New Testament writings prove useful, Roth's book reminds us that the New Testament is a Jewish piece of literature whose reference is decisively the Hebrew Scripture. . . . The evidence that he brings to his thesis is, in my opinion, incontrovertible and irresistible.”

Psychological Insight into the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Psychological Insight Into the Bible is a veritable exposition of the famous Abraham Heschel's statement that 'the Bible is less a theology for man than an anthropology for God.' From all possible angles the book deals with the issue as spelled out in the title. What 'insight' does psychology bring to the understanding of the biblical text, of its background (or archaeological history), of its foreground (or teleological assimilation by its readers), of its impact on the 'psyche'? Exploring the field from Aristotle to contemporary psychoanalysts and Bible scholars, via Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Frankl, Weber, Delitzsch, Wheeler Robinson, and others, the book builds a compelling case for the immense richness of 'insights' that the psychological methodology offers to the exegete and, reciprocally, biblical anthropology to the psychologist. This is an indispensable tool for students of the Bible and/or of psychology.”

Social Criticism and Social Vision in Ancient Israel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Brueggemann's production consistently vouches for its expansiveness and depth. Few are modern scholars with his ability to address both scholars and laypeople. This socially oriented book once more demonstrates the broadness of his horizon and the clarity of his visionary understanding. The reader responds with delight and inspiration. Wipf and Stock is to be congratulated for offering us this insightful contribution by a much-loved exegete and thinker.”
